After reading Wang Zengqi's Five Flavors, there are five flavors in the world-sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. In this May Day holiday, I followed Grandpa Wang Zengqi's pen to "taste" all the delicious food in the world and "taste" all the delicious food in the world.
The book "Five Flavors" tells all the delicious foods in China: Yanghuaer radish, Dragon Boat Festival duck eggs, money knife to cut legs, stewed onion shrimp ... some are famous dishes from all over the world, such as stinky mandarin fish; Some are folk foods, such as tofu brain; Some are street snacks, such as bean juice, pot helmet ... Looking at "Five Flavors", the food seems to be in front of you, as if it has been tasted in your mouth, which makes people salivate.
Grandpa Wang Zengqi once wrote, "Talking about eating is also a life attitude and culture. So why not talk about it? " Seeing this, I am happy. This is indeed an attitude towards life. During the winter vacation, I watched an average score written by Kang Hui, the host of CCTV. I still remember a clip in it: Teacher Kang Hui heard that a braised pork restaurant was particularly delicious, so she spent dozens of dollars to take a taxi and bought a braised pork for ten or twenty dollars. When I first saw it, I was puzzled. I think this is incredible. The money for taking a taxi is out of proportion to the money for buying braised pork! After reading "Five Flavors", I thought, maybe this is also a positive attitude towards life of teacher Kang Hui.
There is a saying that "life is not just the present, but also poetry and distance." As for me, forget about poetry. I just want to go far away with delicious food. Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, often cooked his own food when he was an official. For example, if the braised pork is burnt, sprinkle some chopped green onion-stew and take it out of the pot. Alas, it smells good! Another example is that Chinese medicine is too bitter, stir-fried with sugar, flour and black sesame-Dongpo medicine cake is out, Yum!
But also for food, I have been selfless, happy and bitter. There is an omelet filling downstairs in the community, which is tender and fragrant. A layer of secret sauce with a layer of Chili oil, and then ham, chicken fillet and lettuce, delicious! In order to buy an omelet without long queues, I often get up at about six in the morning, buy an omelet early, find a leeward place, smell the aroma first, and then bite it down. It's delicious! I still remember that one summer vacation, a milk tea shop opened at the entrance of the community, and the ice cream only sold for two yuan. My friends and I can't wait to queue up to buy. There are two kinds of ice cream specials, milk flavor and matcha flavor. First, I bought a milk-flavored one and watched my friend enjoy his matcha flavor. I quickly wolfed down the milk flavor and bought one of the two flavors. This is still the result of wolfing down and overeating.
Recall the past events about "eating" one by one, and then look at "Five Flavors". It turns out that all kinds of delicacies in the book are the author's attitude towards life and a pursuit of life.
Wang Zengqi's Thoughts on Five Flavors 2 "Five Flavors", I only heard Wang Lao talk about China's delicious food and snacks and side dishes from all over the world, not only their practices, but also their origins. I marvel at his erudition, like a walking dictionary, without Baidu. In other words, there are countless lines in his mind. As soon as the thread is pulled, a lot of relevant knowledge is pulled out. There are many serious arguments about food, anecdotes, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
In the study of diet history, Wang always looks like an old pedant and is serious. When I turn around, I will see this sentence again: "I once praised myself for eating everything, so I was teased twice." Once in my hometown, I didn't eat coriander. I thought coriander smelled like a bug. ..... The steward in the shop took a big bowl of cold coriander and said,' Don't you eat everything?' I gritted my teeth and ate. I have been eating coriander since then. "This paragraph makes people feel mutual appreciation. Because I don't like coriander either, because it smells like bedbugs. A lovely and brave old man appeared in front of us. I was also surprised by his experience, eating everywhere and explaining that he ate so many dishes! How dare he taste it!
Wang Lao's hometown is Gaoyou, Jiangsu. Speaking of the food in his hometown, he is so affectionate, so affectionate. How much he loves his hometown. Fried rice and coke scraps in my hometown, salted duck eggs, pickled vegetable soup, tiger sharks, proud fish, clams, snails and clams, wild ducks, quails, turtledoves, mites, Artemisia selengensis, Lycium barbarum, shepherd's purse and purslane are all left behind during the Dragon Boat Festival. "Hometown Wild Vegetables" describes shepherd's purse, Artemisia selengensis, purslane and shepherd's purse in detail, and also mentions Wang Pan, a writer of Sanqu in my hometown in the Ming Dynasty, who is mainly based on the recipe of wild vegetables in Wangxilou, with pictures and texts, and writes more about folk sufferings. "The river is green, and the daughter who picks vegetables by the river cries. My mother, my father and my brother, although they are familiar with each other. Stop me and my sister from looking after the house-Jian Jiang ","Holding Artemisia annua, firmly rooted, inseparable. Didn't you see that on the passenger ship sold yesterday, the child cried and refused to let go-holding Artemisia annua. " Wang Lao said that these poems are sincere and sour to read. Indeed, Wang Lao told us that there was a Sanqu writer in his hometown who recorded people's sufferings with wild vegetables. He moved the readers and loved the land in his hometown. People-friendly works always smell of fireworks, saying that the world is warm and cold, and that the people are suffering.
